Pine Tree High School Leadership/Student Council students and the community participated in the 2014 Macy's annual Believe campaign and delivered over 4,591 letters to Santa at Macy's who will donate $9,902 to the Make a Wish Foundation.

The magic of the holiday season with Macy's Believe campaign invites customers to share in the spirit of goodwill and generosity. Since the program began seven years ago, it has raised more than $8.7 million to benefit Make-A-Wish as believers from coast-to-coast have participated in the program’s signature letter writing campaign, which will return this year.

From Nov. 7 to Dec. 24, customers can visit their local Macy’s store to drop their stamped letters, addressed to “Santa at the North Pole,” into special Santa Mail letterboxes. New this year, the Believe letter campaign is going digital – in addition to mailing letters in-store, customers can visit macys.com/believe to create and send their letter to Santa. For each letter collected in-store and online, Macy’s will donate $1, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish, helping to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
